Binding Forces: Or Lack Thereof

The article "BINDE KRAFTER. ELLER BRIST PÅ SÅDANA." (Binding Forces. Or Lack Thereof.) explores the hypothesis of 'reduced binding force' as a potential explanation for numerous unexplained and tragic flying accidents, affecting both civilian and military aviation. The author references W.B. Smith's theory, suggesting that certain atmospheric areas might possess reduced binding capabilities, leading to catastrophic failures.

The Nature of Matter and Theories

The text begins by acknowledging that while current scientific theories explain most observed phenomena, there are instances that defy conventional understanding. The author notes a reluctance to discard elegant mathematical models even when new facts emerge. This is exemplified by the discussion on binding or cohesive forces.

UFOs and Reduced Binding

Several years prior, following a series of perplexing aircraft disasters, the public inquired if these incidents were related to flying objects (referred to as 'flying saucers' or 'flying tefats'). Information received suggested that while few accidents were directly caused by these craft, pilots of the flying saucers began to exercise extreme caution. More significantly, it was revealed that human pilots were flying in ignorance of areas with 'reduced binding' on our planet. The article posits that many aircraft are not built with sufficient safety factors to withstand these conditions, leading to their disintegration.

Detecting Reduced Binding

When questioned about these areas, it was stated that detecting them was within reach, and instruments could be developed to register these phenomena. The article also includes a critical remark about humanity's propensity for detonating atomic bombs, suggesting that each explosion creates new vortices with reduced binding.

The Field Meter

The principle of a suitable 'field meter' is then explained, requiring the reader to detail its construction. The core idea is that all matter is held together by the three fundamental fields of nature: Time (Tempic), Electricity, and Magnetism. These fields define the molecular structure, and their interaction is non-linear. This non-linear interaction can reveal characteristics of the background fields.

The described field meter consists of a nylon thread stretched close to its elastic limit (after initial stretching for stability). This thread pulls against a steel spring, which is within its elastic limit. The nylon thread is wound a few times around an axle with a pointer, so that longitudinal movement of the thread causes the axle to rotate, moving the pointer across a scale. For the actual application, a nylon fishing line was used, tested to its breaking point. The line was then wound and one end attached to the spring, while the other end was secured under a friction disc. This disc, made of a softer material than nylon, provides a firm grip without deforming the thread. To check stability, the instrument was left for several days. Afterwards, the pointer was adjusted to the middle of the scale, and the instrument was considered ready for use.

Instrument Construction and Calibration

For its construction, an aluminum tube of 12-13 mm diameter and approximately 250-260 mm length was used, providing good temperature compensation. A temperature range of 40°C had no noticeable effect on a scale divided into twelve parts with less than two divisions. No significant change was observed across the entire humidity range, nor was it sensitive to barometric pressure variations. The dimensions were apparently up to standard.

Further Investigations and Limitations

Despite the construction of numerous instruments with varying parameters, the author notes that calibrating them is currently not possible, limiting their use to quantitative indication. However, these instruments have been used to investigate areas where aircraft have crashed inexplicably. Several areas with reduced binding have been found, often circular with diameters of approximately 300 meters, and potentially extending significantly in altitude. Some of these areas have been detected from the air, and fortunately, the aircraft involved were strong enough to remain intact.

Geographic Distribution and Mobility

It appears that these areas of reduced binding are somewhat stronger in the north than further south, though this is not definitively stated. Certain regions seem to be more permanently affected. It is also unclear whether these areas move or are stationary. The author notes that after three to four months, several known areas could no longer be located.

Official Investigation Urged

The existence of these 'reduced binding' areas clearly warrants a serious official investigation. However, due to the unorthodox source of information, all efforts to have the material officially valued or considered have thus far yielded no results.

W.B. Smith's Legacy and Project Magnet

The preceding text was written by the late W.B. Smith, an electronics engineer employed by the Canadian government and the founder of the Ottawa Flying Saucer Club. Smith received useful, intelligent information from visitors from outer space, which convinced him of their reality. The flying saucer phenomenon remained highly enigmatic as long as he and his group focused solely on factual data. However, when he calmed down and elevated his thinking to a philosophical level, passing the 'cosmic barrier,' as Bryant and Helen Reeve describe, the concepts became clearer.

Project Magnet

This project was led by Smith from 1950 with the aim of detecting flying saucers and analyzing obtained data. Smith himself stated: "Project Magnet was authorized in December 1950 as a result of a request to the Canadian Transport Department for permission to utilize the department's laboratories and field equipment for the study of unidentified flying objects and the principles behind them."

Canada thus became the only major state in the world to officially acknowledge an interest in flying saucers. However, certain powerful interests did not want this to continue. The unfavorable stance of news and press reporters eventually forced the authorities to withdraw all official support, meaning Project Magnet was officially discontinued in October 1954. By that time, however, Smith had already obtained evidence and had contact with space visitors.

Continued Interest and Covert Operations

However, Project Magnet has not been abandoned! At least not by the United States, whose government has a fleet equipped with electronic gear for this purpose. Super Constellations are constantly sweeping the country in search of flying saucers. The machines even bear the inscription 'PROJECT MAGNET' on their tail fins, according to photographs taken in 1963. It is likely that the activity is now under a non-military agency, such as the Land Survey Office, thus officially freeing the air force. A wild guess suggests that some highly secret tracking satellites, launched from Vandenberg Base, carry small, sensitive instruments that operate within the electronic range known for flying saucers. When a satellite detects something unknown in a certain area, the information is relayed via a ground station to the nearest Constellation plane, which then immediately investigates.

It is highly possible that there is lively traffic up there. And surely, astronauts have brought back photographs of unidentified flying objects in space that confirm their visual observations.

Reduced Binding Explained Further

If visitors from space are aware of the existence of areas with reduced binding in Earth's atmosphere, they have certainly compensated for the resulting destructive pressure drops in the construction of their machines.

An area with reduced binding was clearly located outside the northern tip of Queen Charlotte Island, British Columbia, on June 3, 1963 (approximately 28 nautical miles southwest of Ketchikan, Alaska). On that day, a DC-7 belonging to Northwest Orient Airlines crashed there, killing all 101 people on board. The plane was at an altitude of approximately 4800 meters and had just transmitted a routine radio report when it suddenly and inexplicably broke up violently. No indication of any trouble was given over the radio.

UFO researchers' scrapbooks are filled with aircraft disasters of this nature. Heavily built planes simply break apart in the air without any known or apparent cause! And the fact that a large number of accidents appear completely inexplicable should prompt authorities to seriously consider Smith's hypothesis of reduced binding.

The Mantell Case

Reduced binding may be the key to the anti-gravity drive of flying saucers. It appears that Mantell's P-51 Mustang flew into such an area when he got too close to the giant spaceship on January 7, 1948. More details about the incident are reported in 'Tid och Rum' No. 1. It should only be added here that Desmond Leslie, seven years later, tracked down an eyewitness who, at the time of the incident, was employed at Fort Knox. This person told Leslie that "Mantell's plane was pulverized. Another eyewitness saw how it actually dissolved at close range from the flying saucer, which was about 90 meters in diameter. What came down was more like confetti than parts of an airplane, and the pieces were scattered over an area of about 5 square kilometers. Each fragment was carefully collected and destroyed

... They were convened and urged to completely forget what had happened..."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the unexplained phenomena of UFOs and aerospace incidents. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, giving credence to unconventional theories like W.B. Smith's 'reduced binding force' hypothesis. The publication seems to advocate for a more serious and official investigation into these matters, criticizing the lack of official acknowledgment and the tendency to dismiss evidence from non-traditional sources. There is a clear interest in the technological capabilities of potential extraterrestrial visitors and their possible interaction with Earth's atmosphere and aircraft.
